The Sandtrooper and Clone are ridiculous ideas so hopefully there's more to it. Very impressive list overall. Excited to see all the new figs at Toy Fair. If this is it for 2012, then I'm only disappointed we will not get a new Slave Anakin from TPM.

A very nice looking list if it turns out to be true. Stoked for Nien Nunb finally, I've been passing for years on the old ones thinking they'd be making a new one anytime, that was a good couple years ago, hehehe. My only gripe is that it seems Evazan is the last Cantina dude for some time. Was hoping for 1 or 2 more. Jabba's Palace seems nicely represented though.

That's a lot of assortments. I'm really looking forward to all the new OT stuff, but am afraid pegs will get clogged with everything else before they're ready to hit retail.

I think once we get past Toy Fair these case assortments will make a good deal more sense. Especially once the bigger etailers like BBTS and EE get the cases listed with official imagery.

But the inclusion of more Sandtroopers and Episode III Clone Troopers is a definite head scratcher. The thing is, in most of that list with previously identified figures there were figure numbers next to each figure. In the case of the Episode III Clone and Sandtrooper they were ID'd not with a TVC number, but the upc number. Are we looking at different Episode III Clones and Sandtroopers in this instance? It already seems clear that there's an Episode II Clone, but with the blue Lieutenant markings. My guess is we'll get a Shock Trooper or Coruscant Clone from Episode III, and an alternate color pauldron for the Sandtrooper.

I'm really hoping it is a different ROTS trooper as well. And seriously, what is up with all the Sandtroopers all the time? I like them and all, but I see they are listed in the Movie Heroes line again too. It just seems funny that they don't release "regular" Stormtroopers with this much consistency, but the Sandtroopers are pretty much consistently on the pegs.

Anyways, other than that, the lineup looks pretty great. In some ways, the list (beyond what we already knew about) seems a little "main character" light, aside from the CW figures. Not that we don't appreciate the other characters, it is just surprising. I guess that would give them an Anakin or Obi-Wan to "anchor" assortments (or carry overs) since there isn't a Luke, Vader, Han, etc. listed for the second half of the year really (or what I'm guessing is the 2nd half). Overall, looks great though. They are really knocking off a lot of requested figures, and continuing a great run for TVC.

No kidding. The only Han Solo planned for 2012 is a repack of the Bespin figure? Lame. Don't get me wrong, I love the Bespin Han... I was just hoping for a kick-ass NEW Han to make up for the POS "Yavin 4" Han and repack Endor Han they dumped on us last year.

And no Chewie? WTF does everyone's favorite wookiee need to do to get on a VC card? He hasn't had a VC card since what, 2004? Poor Chewie is stuck in Legends/CW Hell I guess. Seriously, we need a new Chewbacca on a vintage card dammit.

I'm not so mad about Sandtroopers - for $10 price now, I'd rather get Sandtroopers, who are really just Stormtroopers with extra gear, than Stormtroopers with just one blaster anyway. I am annoyed with more Clone Troopers and Clone Pilots though. Save that stuff for the AOTC and ROTS 3D launchs, don't make us suffer through them now AND again next spring.
